I've done everything from opening the valve all the way to cleaning the ventui cone on the water outlet and it's only producing bubbles near the top of the skimmer. Anybody have any Ideas???help please it's fairly new in looks to be a great shape skimmer.
Thanks

there is ajustment in the neck of the colection cup that can be pushed in to gain some skimmit. I hv a rio 2500 on mine.It is ona 80gal bow front with a medium bioload.Is it in sump or out? also u can try a ballvalve on the out put.

when u take off the collection cup, if there is a gap when put your finger from the bottom of the cup. push the top and bottom together till the gap is closed. that closed a 1/2 inch on mine and increased skimmate. try that and maybe a ball valve.
